The Latest Invention.

The latest invention is said TO be n
machine that scws on buttons. and will
perform the work of four or five girls.
1t is very honest machine, putting
welvc stitches in every button, thus
giving each an equal chance. The news
of tn invention will probably be well
coined as glad tidings by husbands.
who are i'm the habit of sewing on their
own buttons. Ii has always been ar
gued that one reason why man should
marry, II for nothing else, is TO have
some one TO sew on buttons for him.
This, however, like great many other
ideas that originated with the ancients.
Is mistaken one and is fast going out
of existance. The married man of to-
day, on losing button, calls the atten-
ton of his wife TO the fact. and then.
not finding a new button in its place,
tries to cause blush of shame TO man
tie her cheek. by using safety pin or
a nail to hold up his pants with. For
some reason or other she doesn' shame
worth a cent and time goes on. as time
is wont 10 do. till he finds his pants
completely buttonless. and that he is
carrying enough nails about his person
to build good sized barn with.
Finally in moment of desperat on he
grabs the button box. and after more or
less swearing. sews on the buttons him
self. The inventor of this great labor
saving machine should be made an
honorary member of every male secret
Society in the country. and Mt his death
monument should be erected TO his
-emo-y that viii eclipse anything that
has ever been attempted in the monu-
ment line. -Pccks San.

American POlfteness.

The passenger in the crowded street
railway car is often disturbed by the
conscious absorption of his masculine
neighbors in their newspapers when
woman enters and looks for seat If
she be young and pretty, there are APP
parently seats enough, however great
the crowd, and even if man is slow to
RISE he may yet, with Mr.. Rcadywitt,
exhort his son sitting upon his knee to
to get up and give the lady his seat The
impatient passager, in his Indignation
at the want of courtesy upon the part OF
others, sometimes forgets, indeed, to
rise himself. But there is always some
Nathan comfortably seated farther
away whose amused look says to the
impatient but stationary David. Thou
art the man.
IL would be very unfair to generalize
from this frequent situation that the
American is uncourteous. On the con-
trary, he is the most truly polite man
among men of all nations. Lady Nav
ourneen. who is familiar with tie soc-
ETY. and manners of many countries,
and who has been always accustomed
to hear Americans in Europe described
everywhere as 'those Americans" was
amazed upon coming here to find UNI
iversal courtesy. ''In the street or Mt
the railway station" she said. IF | ask
ANYBODY any question, / receive the
most prompt and polite answer. Ev-
erybody is at my service, not with much
bowling or flourishing, but heartily and
honestly ! have never seen such un-
iversal courtesy" When she was asked
whether she had observed the absorb
ton of the street-car passengers in their
newsp pers, smiled and said that she
had never been obliged to stand. be-
cause some one was sure to rise. But
in Paris she said that often as she was

Asking for a Divorce.

The following taken from the Post
Dispatch will be read with interest by
residents of this county who knew and
liked Mrs. Glow as Miss Eva Bufing-
ton. As will be seen she has some
difficulty in getting free from her
marital bonds.
EVA Glow asked for a decree OF
divorce from Herman Glow. The
court heard this case before and de-
MED the decree. Subsequently mo-
ton for rehearing was sustained.
They were married in Pettis county in
May, 1875. Mrs. Glow complained
that her husband subjected her to
various indignities and rendered hel
condition intolerable by acts and
words provoking a separation. Her
father gave her s75 to buy watch
but her husband became very angry
about it and threatened to burn the
watch in the stove. He told her thai
she would have to choose between the
watch and her husband. He declined
to speak to her for days together, and
when he did open his mouth it was in
sarcastic, sneering tone, woundine
her feelings. He told her that sh'
was not fit to raise children, and hi
encouraged them to acts of disobedi
ence. Mrs. Glow further alleged tina
her husband stated that he was too
much married, and that he intended
to seek new pastures. Mrs. Glow
asked for the custody of the daugh
ter, Mary, and for alimony.

swollen lips. There was arsenic In 'the
medicine, in the food, in everything that
entered the mans mouth.
Wrinht died miserably on May 8 of last
year. There were suspicious OF foul play
among the country people. They led to
official inquiry, and two weeks after the
funeral the body was removed from the
grave and the stomach analysed. Arsenic
was found in great quantities, and Allen
and Mrs. Wright were arrested March 10
last The case was brought to trial, and
when Mr.. Wright took the stand she made
a confession in which she charged Allen
with the poisoning of her husband. The
vast amount of damaging evidence against
him appeared to give Allen little concern.
The poisouer showed emotion but once
during the time the ease was on trial, and
then he wept. When he took the stand he
entered a vehement denial of every charge
brought against him. His lawyers tried to
convince the jury that he was guilty OF no
crime, and that he had been the victim OF
an INSCRIPTIONS and designing woman.
The jury, however, looked at the evil
denee in another light, and few hours al
ter the Judge had delivered his instructions
they returned verdict of guilty against
Allen. Through some inadvertence OF the
jury they failed to FIX the degree of murder.
and the lawyers for the defense were quick
to sieze upon this technicality to demand a
stay of sentence pending argu-
ment for new trial This
wasi granted and Allen and Wright
were again sent to jill. While waiting for
the case to be retired, Aliens wife died
without the formality of an inquest. On
the morning of May %, when Sheriff Dryer
went 10 the Jail to feed Allen, he discovered
that the prisoner had escaped. Two fire
escape doors leading from the prisoners
cell to the street, had been mysteriously
unlocked during the night and Allen find
ing his way ear, walked out and has not
been seen or heard of since by the authori-
ties. The sheriff is positive that the pois-
oner had confederates on the outside who
picked the locks of the doors.
